Habari Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Habari is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Sanitize user-supplied input data to prevent the execution of arbitrary script code. Implement strict input validation and output encoding.
